# General Safety \ Here are some important considerations to keep in mind when engaging with blockchain applications: * Exercise caution when interacting with smart contracts or any blockchain application. * Despite efforts to minimize risks through testing, audits, and bug bounties, the possibility of vulnerabilities in [smart contract](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_contract) code always exists. * Be vigilant about phishing and scams, which are prevalent in both blockchain and non-blockchain contexts. * Blockchain-related [phishing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing) scams may attempt to deceive users into revealing private keys, seed phrases, or other sensitive information, or trick them into signing malicious transactions. * Consider maintaining two separate wallets—one for storing the majority of your holdings and funds, and another for use when interacting with new websites. * When interacting with new websites and authorizing transactions in your wallet, carefully review the contract being interacted with and verify the details of the operation to be signed. Most wallets provide information about the operation name to enhance user awareness.
